  • Postscript 1434 Silver Street Ashland, NE, 68003 United States (map)

In this class we’ll learning the basics of pointed-pen Copperplate calligraphy.  Specifically, the class will focus on the lowercase letters of a Copperplate alphabet.

Students will be given a brief history of Copperplate Script, and overview of tools and materials and instruction on how to use them. After learning some basic strokes using a traditional steel nib and oblique pen holder, students will delve into learning the lower case alphabet and completing a small calligraphy project.

Students will leave class with a detailed exemplars and guide sheets for practice at home as well as all supplies provided in class. Uppercase exemplar will be provided for home study. No calligraphy experience (or good handwriting!) needed, advanced or intermediate students will also benefit from guidance by an experienced instructor. 

Supplies are included in the cost of this class
